2014-2017
Co-led a ground up revamp of the AdColony web application, used both internally and externally to manage operations.
This was a full-stack project written in Javascript and Coffeescript, including:
• building out a SPA on the front-end using Backbone.js and Marionette.js
• managing the asset pipeline for LESS and Handlebar template resources
• server APIs on the Node.js platform using Express
• interacting with the persistence layer with Sequelize.js, as well as owning the schema
• juggling data from MySQL, Redis, DynamoDB, S3, Redshift, BigQuery, etc.
• deployment of the application on AWS ElasticBeanstalk
Gained experience managing a small team of software engineers throughout the lifecycle of this project, alongside dealing with the full scope of project management with Product, Design, and QA teams.
Future extensions of the project included heavy maintenance and optimization of a rapidly growing codebase, building new UX heavy pages using React, adhering to a more robust continuous integration setup, and driving a new product workfow for faster iteration in JIRA.
